If Doc Rivers goes to the Clippers....

[Bluehorseshoe]

...what are the odds Pierce and Garnett follow him out there?? I say even money since the Clips tried to make it happen last year.

[Snowball]

quite possible

[Speedy88]

Isn't Garnett owed like 20 mill over the next two years? Unless they restructure the contract, I don't see why anyone would want to take on KG's contract.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Here it comes......

pierce retires as a celtic

[Mr KLC]

Bledsoe and Griffin would help the rebuilding process with the Lakers.

One moment blake is untouchable, next he is trade bait. So sad for blake. The trade better get done cause he will not forget this.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Ainge is screwing this up now. He wants the world for guys on the way out.

they realize he is nothing more than a showboat player. He might help sell tickets but thats about it he can not lead them to playoff success.

Aren't the combined ages of Garnett and Pierce like 106 years though?

Just like Kobe and Nash.

This deal not happening according to the LA Times

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/22432046/report-clippers-turn-down-celtics-rivers-to-stay-in-boston

There were reported discussions heating up between the Celtics and Clippers that included Doc Rivers and Kevin Garnett headed to the West Coast.

However, according to the Los Angeles Times, the deal won't be happening as the Clippers have rejected the trade.

As a result, the Clippers are moving forward and are prepared to offer their vacant coaching position to either Brian Shaw or Lionel Hollins.

The reported deal between the Celtics and Clippers had Rivers and Garnett going to the Clippers for DeAndre Jordan and two first-round picks. Eric Bledsoe's name was also involved, and he might've been the reason the talks fell apart.

[BIGSACK]

The clips will still be a first or second round playoff exit with all those Celtic pieces

[JMUplayer]

Why trade for pierce.... Celtics have to make a decision on him 5 million buyout by June 30th.

[marcoloco]

glad this deal is dead. would of been a horrible move for the clipps

[Bluehorseshoe]

Clippers should sign and trade Chris Paul and then sign his brother Cliff.

Right, but they won't buy him out and get nothing for him, would be a stupid move.

[sweethook]

will be a shot in the arm id say

[qsilver335]

The answer is yes, they both go....And Cliff Paul would be a great additon to the front office.

[Easy-Rider 66]

It's a done deal, Rivers to the Clip Joint for a 1st rounder.

[Mr KLC]

This means Chris Paul will resign with the Clips, I'm sure.

[crustyme]

the same doc rivers who went 24-58 the season prior to stealing kg from t-wolves? the same who won just 1 ring with 3 hall of famers in their primes?

clippers being clippers.

They still haven't realized that Tom Thibadeau was the real brains behind the 2008, 2009 Celtics. Rivers is an average coach.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Exactly. The guy was almost fired before the big three came over.

If the Clips can still get Garnett, I won't mind taking Rivers though.

[bjb7223]

Cliff Paul will resign on Monday.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Here's what I want now. Bring in Garnett, move Butler's expiring contract for something, bring in Igodola, trade Bledsoe for Affalo.

[adila1401]

Dude I can understand KG but Pierce ...REALLY? dude would get eaten alive in the West ..he can't hardly move and doesn't put up points like he used to ..

[Mr KLC]

Who ever thought they would see the day where a head coach would voluntarily leave the Celtics to go work for the Clippers?

[daimoshokage]

Doc rivers is a fukking overrated coach.. Guy don't know shit.. Fukk UBUNTU and his stupidity..

[Git Lo]

Clippers looking to get something for Bledsoe soon. Watching Clippers live right now they are very excited for the coming season. Deandre Jordan says he wants to be defensive player of the year, Blake said this is the most hes been excited, CP will very likely resign, things are looking bright for the Clipper nation.
